Kayne West did a one off show at Abbey Road for BBC Radio with an orchestra and that was issued as a CD in its own right.
Should we make some banners for the summer tour, perhaps they could read "I'm Numb at the thought of Numb being the 3rd single. Release Fugitve instead".

I still hope Indefinate Leave To Remain will be a single. It would be a perfect tool to promote this album. I love the thought of having this gig as an album. :D

Release them both. Makes sense to issue Numb with Fugitive as a double A.

i probably would wrote:I dont want to put a downer on all this but I heard it that Trevor Horn was mixing it for the Radio 2 broadcast on Saturday and not for a release??

Forgive me if I heard it wrong.
Yes that's what I heard. Chris said something like "we could get another Trevor Horn album out of this".

Indeed, that's how I heard it as well. As someone else pointed out, getting the rights for the various performers to appear on an album would be no straightforward task.

Where´s techno claiming he already has a copy ?
Interviewer:
-What would you tell someone about yourself if you wanted to impress them?

Chris:
-I´ve got a 12-inch plonker.

I thought he said "we've actually got another Trevor Horn album out of this".

Just listened to it again. Chris says that they have got another album out of the concert as Trevor Horn is mixing it at the moment. Neil then mentions The Stonk.

Don't record it from DAB as the quality is actually worse than FM for Radio 2.

See right hand column of http://www.digitalradiotech.co.uk

I plan to record it from Sky.

Instead of Minimal or after?

How about the world's first triple A-side single with Minimal, Numb (BBC live) and Fugitive (7")?

The single could then promote all three albums - Fundamental, Show and Fundamentalism. :wink:

Neil announced it in the official site a pair of weeks ago. That's a really good news!
